LAMAR, AUSTIN, [TEXASJ 54 Houston Dec 28th 1839. :M:y Dear Sir On the fault of a purchase of Lands from Judge Woodward Mr Ican 55 the father of the Gentlema[n] who will hand you this has sent out a highly respectable colony of english farmers.- I learn that Judge Woodward has not a foot of Land on which they can be located. This circumstance may do Texas much injury abroad as Judge Wood- ward is our Consul in New York.- I pray you to ask the inteference of Congress that these people may be forthwith provided with Lands, which cannot fail to do us much good in England, as an act of voluntary benef[ic]ence. It is one of the hardest cases I have ever met with & I con- sign :M:r lean to your kind & generous protection in the· deep wrong his father has sustained under Judge Woodwards sale, 56 as it seems he was unable to put him in possession of a foot of Land.- . I remain 1\Iy Dear Sir
With sincere- esteem very Dr S
